Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh announced this week that he’s toying with the idea of organizing a "women’s summit" to find out why more women don’t appreciate his patented point of view.
Limbaugh, who ruffled feathers recently when he said he hopes President Obama fails, was spurred by a Public Policy poll showing that only 37 percent of women — compared to 56 percent of men — have a favorable opinion of the shock jock. Thus, Limbaugh’s looking to close the gender gap.
We’ll have a summit of all the women in this audience — or as many of them as we can get into breakout groups — and perhaps devote an hour in an upcoming program to calls only from women who genuinely want to talk to me … But I want some of these women to start telling me what it is I must do to close the gender gap — or, if not, what it is I must do to close the gender gap, what it is I’ve done that has caused the gender gap; assuming the gender gap is true and that the poll is true.
…
I own the men, and what must I do now to own women?
Well, Limbaugh, perhaps you could start wooing more women if you recant your oft-cited quote: "Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society."

Shock Jock?
Really?
They are putting Rush n the same category as Howard and Bubba? Puleeez
Because he’s rude and condescending.
Most women are more polite than Mr. Limbaugh and avoid his type in their personal lives. They don’t appreciate arrogant behavior, even when they may agree with the arguments he makes.
Yep, the truth hurts. People want affirmation, not information.
All of the conservative women I know - attractive or not - have no problem accessing the mainstream of society. It's the moonbat neurotic basketcases that operate in the fringe.
What to do to get the women?
Well...stop talking and start listening! We don’t like talky guys. :)
He has the ear already of women who think with their brains.
Have yet to read the entire article, but the abbreviated version refers to Rush Limbaugh as a “shock jock” so either the writer is ignorant of her subject (a very common trait among (mostly) liberal women) or biased to the left.
Either way, it doesn’t seem to be anything of value.
Women tend to be more about how they “feel” about a matter than what they think. Look at it this way, if Rush can’t find a keeper out of 37% of 150 million women in the US alone, then nobody can.
Might have more to do with the extra 80 pounds Rush is carrying around nowadays.
I refused to be “owned.”

It’s not arrogance when he is right and he is right far more often than he is wrong. He is also man enough to admit when he is wrong and apologize.
I’ve never heard of this website. Is it like the LifeTime television version of Slate?
Ben Franklin pointed it out. “He who loves himself will have no rivals.”
Wouldn't that make for a pretty dull radio program? All that listening?
Rush doesn’t do well with women because, by and large, they seek security which means they like democrats.
Rush isn’t for democrats...
Alex, I'd like overweight smokers with drug problems for $500, please.
